Q1 - mini

My first finish of the 2016 FAL list is #9 mini. It's also my OMG goal for January. Yes, I'm killing two birds with one stone :) no actually three :))

It's made out of 20 scraps and it also caries out my word for the year 2016 which is TWENTY.
I choose this word to remind myself that even 20 minutes a day can make a difference. I was also inspired by #sewtake20

I quilted straight lines in number of colors. Each hexagon is crossed twice which can be interpreted like checking of my goals.

I was asked by my hubby if I'm making a map. It sort of looks like map of Czechoslovakia which no longer exists. We are Czech Republic and Slovakia these days.

Anyway I decided to change the direction as it suits my space better.

It doesn't really look like my first drafts but that's the way I roll.
See, fits perfectly :)

Thank you for commenting on my blog. I LOVE this finish and I'm so happy I followed the trail back to your blog. Rainbows of color make me happy, especially when they are paired with hexagons. The meaning behind your quilting and design is wonderful since this mini quilt seems to be hanging above your work station. Every time you look at it you can be reminded of your goals and see the results checked off in front of you. Now I need to scroll down because I think I spotted a Star Wars icon in the next post. ;).
